Thanks for the tip, I'm going to check out the HF one. From your experience, how quickly do these build up heat using the grinder? Not an issue? Or have to take pauses due to heat buildup, or...?
72Dodge -- To be honest... you won't have an issue with heat buildup. The metal will get warm to hot if you hit one spot and really work the disc. But like any sanding/stripping process, you'll be moving the sander/grinder and therefore no real heat like a flapper disc or even a grinding disc. These discs, as you can see, are very very porous.. therefore I think it allows for a lot more air movement. In addition, because they are so porous the disc itself does not buildup with a bunch of paint/gunk, like sandpaper can and does. That I really like...
Don't get me wrong.. it's still a very manual, tedious, and physical process. The pauses that you will be taking.. will be from your cramping hands, listless arms, or your aching back, not from heat buildup. Your body will give out, before you go through a single disc!
I do recommend safety glasses... :glasses7: for you will have dust and debris from the stripping process and some of the "plastic" (Polycarbide) will break off as well. Safety Third!
Besides paying someone to do a complete media blasting process... these are the best in my book! Give these discs a try... and let me know your thoughts!
